description Piezoelectric materials have received much attention due to their great potential in environmental remediation by utilizing vibrational energy. In this paper, a novel piezoelectric catalyst, CoOx nanoparticles anchored BiFeO3 nanodisk composite, was intentionally synthesized via a photodeposition method and applied in piezocatalytic degradation of rhodamine B (RhB) under ultrasonic vibration. The as-synthesized CoOx/BiFeO3 composite presents high piezocatalytic efficiency and stability. The RhB degradation rate is determined to be 1.29 h−1, which is 2.38 folds higher than that of pure BiFeO3. Via optimizing the reaction conditions, the piezocatalytic degradation rate of the CoOx/BiFeO3 can be further increased to 3.20 h−1. A thorough characterization was implemented to investigate the structure, piezoelectric property, and charge separation efficiency of the CoOx/BiFeO3 to reveal the nature behind the high piezocatalytic activity. It is found that the CoOx nanoparticles are tightly adhered and uniformly dispersed on the surface of the BiFeO3 nanodisks. Strong interaction between CoOx and BiFeO3 triggers the formation of a heterojunction structure, which further induces the migration of the piezoinduced holes on the BiFeO3 to CoOx nanoparticles. The recombination of electron-hole pairs is retarded, thereby increasing the piezocatalytic performance greatly.
